Home of the Day: Midcentury architect Forrest Theriot's personal residence

This light-filled post-and-beam in the Hollywood Hills was designed by midcentury architect and furniture designer Forrest Theriot for his personal use. Completed in 1954, it features an open floor plan with floor-to-ceiling glass, slatted ceilings and handsome beams running throughout. Tall hedges obscure tiered grounds containing a saltwater pool, a guest house and gardens filled with mature trees and succulents.
